Next Years Lineup

I know this board really loves sleeping on Kody Routledge but the kid had one hell of an Ironman. He easily majored (almost pinned) Will Denny in the finals to win it… the same Will Denny who just beat Melvin Miller in the semis and Kollin Rath in the finals to win Super 32.

Kody is a stud and he seems to be getting better by the minute.
I agree 100%. It’s probably due to a well known idiopathic disease called “Grass-is-Greener”. There is no known cure.
 
Doesn’t taylor really like him?
I think he does but I also think people are making maybe to much out of him going to worlds as his training partner.
I think that’s part of it but it’s also how we’re recruiting. We have seemingly backed off on some very interested studs at the weight. That at least partially points to us liking what we have.

This. I honestly thought BT was going to be the first out the door, whether by choice or not. Instead - he's embraced being a true part of the team.

I like what DT did. He didn't employ the same/usual tactics that the typical scorched-earth coaches use when implementing a new culture. He set the expectations - but he's been willing to work with all of the kids and not just kick them to the curb after the first strike. Jordan Williams for instance - he was on the Gilman plan. Gilman spent A LOT of time with him off the mat, mentoring him and spending time with him - all in an effort to get the young man to reach his potential.
 
Pat is saying in Iowa rivals board that Iowa has legit chance to land Jax. Dont like it. Thats why I never take early favorites seriously in college.

Edit: Its Willie, not Pat

It's not wrong just because of the environment the sport is in.

Is it short-sighted if Jax does take the deal, yes. Can you blame him, no.

OSU is the right spot for him in every category besides one, a BIG pay day. That is literally the only thing that Iowa can offer him at this time.

What makes OSU a better spot than PSU?
 
You said OSU is the right spot for him? What makes it the right spot, it’s not just OSU vs. Iowa for Jax.
It was completely in reference to the discussion that Iowa is in the picture.

The topic being discussed is Iowa vs. OSU. OSU is the right spot for him if he has other goals besides money. PSU is also a spot that has more upside for him than Iowa…and I said as much.
